District Detroit, a 50-block development between downtown and Midtown that will have the new Little Caesars Arena as its centerpiece, aims to transform a part of Detroit that for years has been made up of vacant and dilapidated buildings, nonprofit offices, bars and liquor stores.

The district represents a commitment by the Ilitch family — owners of the Red Wings, the Tigers and Little Caesars Pizza — to drum up at least $200 million in private investment in exchange for getting public dollars to help pay for the $863-million arena.

The arena, set for a ribbon-cutting Tuesday, will be home to the Red Wings and the Pistons. The district is expected to also include entertainment, commercial and residential developments.

A rundown of what is planned:

Here, almost here

Woodward Avenue: A four-story building next to the arena along Woodward will feature ground-floor retail as well as Mike's Pizza Bar, an artisanal-style pizza restaurant named for the late Mike Ilitch, co-founder of Little Caesars. The upper floors of the building will house offices for the Red Wings and the Ilitches' Olympia Entertainment. The arena also will have Kid Rock's Made in Detroit restaurant, which will serve "classic Detroit and Southern-influenced dishes."

Henry Street: Another four-story building will hug the arena and face Henry Street. The ground floor will be home to a Red Wings merchandise store and a bar called Sports & Social Detroit. Part of the second floor will house Heritage Hall, a display room filled with historical memorabilia for three of the city's four sports teams: Red Wings, Pistons and Tigers. The upper floors and rest of the second floor will be leased as office space.
